The batteries have lasted far longer than any lead acid, but I take real good care of them.

I'm on year 3 of running one in the Prius. The battery was already located in the cabin, so it was simple to replace. I don't bring it in when it's freezing and take no special precautions to protect it. Since the Prius doesn't use the battery to start the engine, the loads are relatively low. No supercap required.
